Natural Help for Polycystic Kidney Disease
There are two forms of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) — both of which are genetic disorders that cause multiple cysts to grow in kidneys. The fluid-filled cysts can grow huge (some leading to kidneys weighing 20-30 lbs. each), damaging kidneys and cause them to malfunction. About 50% of the people who have ADPKD eventually have kidney failure, making it the 4th leading cause of end-stage renal disease. (vii.272)
People with the most common form of PKD can also cause complications such as: (vii.272)
- Cysts in pancreas and the liver.
- Hypertension (common).
- Heart valve problems.
- Kidney stones.
- Aneurysms in the brain.
- Diverticulosis.
- Urinary tract infections.
In lab and animal studies, turmeric's curcumin compounds reduced the volume of cysts and improved health of kidney cells. They do so by: (vii.273)
- ↓ β-catenin and STAT-3, transcription factor proteins that promote cyst growth. (vii.273-274)
- ↓ mTOR enzymes. (vii.274)
90% of people with PKD have autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD). (vii.272)
